...when they began framing the topic of this issue, they realized they would need expert assistance. "We decided to focus on genetics, which is the area of research likely to have the greatest impact on how medicine is practiced in the future," says Elmer-DeWitt. "But it's a complex field that's moving quickly." The two editors invited a parade of working scientists from around the world to brief the staff members. "We were able to bring the whole group up to speed on state-of-the-art technologies and theories," says Seaman. The resulting effort, coordinated by Andrea...
Mother and daughter become rivals, and the balance of power between them shifts inexorably in favor of Amy as she, not Isabelle, discovers love.

Venter's Miami gene festival captured many sides of a complex personality that seems to thrive on rattling the world of molecular biology. In his most recent seismic event, the maverick-millionaire-scientist-cum-rock-fan announced last May that his privately funded lab will decode the entire human genome years faster and for hundreds of million of dollars less than the U.S. government's vaunted Human Genome Project...
